Tin's Quake2 Nutshell, an awesome Quake2 site, has moved to PQ. Sure, there's a lot of Quake2 sites, but Tin really sets himself apart. Tin updates his news about as fast as anybody, the information sections are complete and comprehensive, and it looks really cool. It's everything you want in a Quake2 site. Check it out.

The fun begins! We've just been sued by Earnest Kettelson, who owns that insanely stupid patent. His office telephone is ***-***-****. His email is ******@ix.netcom.com. This guy has gone too far now. Currently contacting our attorneys to alert them to this development... This is war now!

For those of you that forgot about "the patent", read this. This case would be serious trouble if 3DR lost. It doesn't seem like Ernest has much of a case, but you never know what that pesky Justice System will do.

Just a fad? I have to wonder as our home grown Rocket Arena Mod takes the 'Net by Storm. As of last night 20% of the QuakeWorld servers were running the Arena mod, putting it up there in the stratosphere with CTF and Team Fortress.

In related news, I (bastard) was on QuakeCast last night and had a good time ribbing Blue for his public skepticism last week as to whether playing Arena Quake would be any fun. I will savor that moment for a long time. . Check out the arena page for further info on both the Mapping and Quake-C Contests.

Team Qspy has announced that there will be a short private registered users only beta of the new version (which includes Hexen2 support)commencing this evening. The software has been tested vigorously by internal team members, so a very quick beta is anticipated. More at the QSpy Home Page.

The day is finally here. The first copies of Hexen II have arrived in computer retail stores all over the country. Software ETC has them on sale for $59.99 (plus tax). For more information Hexen II, including a list of servers to play on and strategy guides, be sure to drop by our sister site, Hexenworld.

Jim Lowell's Trinity: The Site has moved to PQ. What is Trinity? Well, it's the code name for id Software's follow-up to Quake. Want to know more about the game that will make Quake look like Doom? Check it out.

If you can't get enough of that kickass looking X-Men TC, head over to Zero Gravity Entertainment under "Story". There are a bunch of cool shots of Wolverine, but also some good shots of levels and other characters.

HexenWorld has announced their newest hosted site: The Strategon. It's maintained by Spencer Jones, author of the recent article titled "The Mystery Of Eidolon". "The Strategon is THE expert source for the best deathmatch tips, strategies, and all-around improvement of basic-to-advanced Hexen II skills." So if you're having trouble making that transition to Hexen II deathmatch (or just sucked in the first place), head over to The Strategon and get reading.

spRocket sent this along to clarify something going on over at Quakeweek:

I'd like to clarify that my article was really about Dave Perry's interview, not software patents. What I wrote (ranted) about was how shocking it is to see someone like Perry make so many erroneous and illogical statements while discussing a very important issue (where I wasn't taking any sides in, btw). Sorry if I misled anyone. :)-- spRocket

crt, Lead Programmer of the PlanetQuake Rocket Arena Mod has created a contest with the hopes of attracting the best Quake-C coders in the community to join what is about to become a massive effort. Check out the contest and requirements HERE.

Back ground: With the rapid rise in popularity of the Rocket Arena style of Quake, we have received a flood of input and requests for further changes. We quickly made plans to create some highly intriguing and innovative styles of play and now we need your help. To move as quickly as possible we are putting out a call for Highly Experienced Quake-C coders to join the team and help us take the Rocket Arena to the next level. The contest ends September 21, after which we'll make the plans available to the community. Can't wait to see what we're gonna do? You can get some good hints from the contest page.

Also in Rocket Arena news is the announcement that Id Software is now running the Rocket Arena mod. Check out disruptor's .plan:

I tried out the rocket arena patch for QuakeWorld the other day. Very cool! So cool in fact, I've put up a server here at id. inferno.idsoftware.com:27555 Enjoy

At last count there were over 50 Rocket Arena servers connected to the PlanetQuake QW Master Server. Download the mod here if you haven't already.

Jack "Morbid" Mathews, boy programming wunderkind of QuakeSpy fame has announced that he will no longer be a part of the QuakeWorld programming effort. He attributes his departure to his recent hiring at 3dfx and the need to avoid the appearance of any possible impropriety or favoritism by id Software towards 3dfx.

The entire Quake community owes Jack a debt of gratitude for his tremendous efforts on QuakeWorld, which is now (in our opinion) the most fun anyone can have with a computer and an internet connection. Jack is directly responsible for one of my favorite features, the HUD (heads up display) which gives you more screen acreage for your gibbing pleasure. He will continue to be a contributing member of the QuakeSpy team.
